I am so happy to have If you don’t watch the my favorite folks from show though I have to say

Issue 07
VIOLETBEAT May 2016
I want to know about their story to see why I should root for them! Just kidding! Although I do want to know what you fill your Sunday nights with if you’re not watching Thrones. Maybe it’s The Walking Dead? I’ve never been down with zombies. . .I could never take that stuff seriously. Dragons and magic and iron chairs though - that I can get down with! Okay enough with Game of Thrones. There will be a few Thrones related things that pop up on the blog because I can’t help myself but I assure you that they will be things that even non-watchers/ readers can enjoy! I also plan to share how I’m clearing the way for my dreams to become a reality. There are a lot of inspirational mantras out there but I don’t think there are a lot of resources or places to turn to when you want to hear more than just a step by step listicle. Actionable steps are great. Everyone needs them in order to get anything done. Still, who cares about the steps if you don’t get to hear about the journey?
“I’m clearing the way for my dreams to become a reality”
If I’m going to take someones advice I want to know a bit about their own story in order to see why I should root for them or why I should try to take what they say seriously. There are so many experts and gurus and I don’t claim to be one of them. I’m just someone who is discovering what I love and doing my best to do more of it. It’s my way of ensuring that my life is a bit brighter and a bit more fun each and every day and I’m more than happy to share each step I take with you!

“Make our passion our priority!”
May’s #VRxMusic Bonus! dance to these Violet Beats all month! I still can’t get over the fact that we lost Prince. I feel like we were just paying tribute to Bowie and now we have to do it all over again for another iconic man in music. It drives home the point that we truly need to live the lives we want to live. We have to make our passions our priority and we have to do what we can to make that happen sooner rather than later. We all have daily responsibilities but we have to make sure that we make time for a little fun too. I heard that Prince wrote a song a day and if that’s true then I think we should take his lead. No matter what is going
on in your day you can take a moment, even if it’s just 5 minutes to do something that lights you up.
